Finally I am taking the time to post some pics from the big birthday party. The weather turned out beautiful!!! That's always a big concern when you have about 30 4-year olds invited to your mostly carpeted home!!!
The day actually started with boy (Jack and Jacob) riding on the float for their preschool. They loved it!! Jacob's arm probably hurt from throwing so much candy. He even threw it when there no people standing around. There isn't much better than a small town parade. Ashlyn and I were sooo excited and kept pointing out the firetrucks and horses to Addie and Austin who have apparently grown past the stage of being excited by horsies and firetrucks!!! The two who would have loved it were riding in the parade and, believe me, you have never heard two women squeal so much when a float drove by. NOw, it was the best entry in the Columbus FFA parade!!! Would it be too silly to say that we rushed over the where the float would end it's ride and ran along side it taking MORE pictures?? Ok, we didn't (or did we?????)
After the parade, it was back home for a quick night-night and then the party. We had a decent amount of kids show up and quite the carnival atmosphere. We had a jumping castle, a playground, popcorn, snocones, and helium for balloons. Did I mention that a MONSTER TRUCK showed up for our MONSTER TRUCK party?? Well, you see, my sister knows a guy, who knows an guy, whose girlfriend just so happens to drive a really big truck with really big wheels. NOw, it's not as huge as the ones that actually drive over junky cars and stuff, but to a bunch of 4-year olds (who really didn't seem interested), it was a real monster truck. Jacob was interested though cuz, that's my Jacob.
It really was a great day. I can't say for sure how long Jacob bounced, but it was certainly longer than any of us could have. They grow up so fast and I can say without a doubt, the trouble that somtimes goes into having a party is sooo worth it when you see the excitement in there little eyes!
